Jones played on the gold medal winning 2011 USA Basketball U19 World Championship team in Puerto Montt, Chile, appearing in all nine of the team's games.

Jones earned 2012 Parade Magazine All-America honors while leading Irving's MacArthur High School to a 69-4 record her junior and senior seasons.

"I enjoyed my two years at Duke but I really just wanted to be closer to family," Jones said. "They're really excited about it. They're going to be able to come to a lot more games than they were able to at Duke. I have always admired and respected Coach Mulkey, I really feel a connection with her and I feel she can help me take my game to the next level."
